Good idea, but has data loss bugs

I was really excited when I found this app. It has some showstopping flaws, though. First, it doesn't attempt any validation. If you paste something that isn't valid JSON, there are no errors or warnings issued but none of the features work. Second, the multi-window support is severely broken: buttons like Pretty Print, Compact, and Clear JSON affect all windows(!!!). Third, the Undo functionality doesn't undo Clear JSON. So, if you're like me and have many windows open with various objects and need to clear one, they will all be wiped. I just lost a lot of work to these bugs - clearly I've become too accustomed to other apps and editors which place a high priority on avoiding data loss.
